Website Design and Build, Ilkley
We aim to build affordable, unique and stylish web pages which give you exactly what you want for your business. Don't worry if you don't think of yourself as IT-savvy - we try and make the process of creating a new website as simple and painless as possible for you. Some of our clients even tell us it's fun! All of our websites have custom designs - we don't use templates. We're based in Ilkley, West Yorkshire but you could be anywhere in the world - we have a couple of clients in the USA.
We can do as much or as little as you want - ranging from a minor change to your existing site or a brand new website with a custom design.

Cost
Every website is different, but as a rough guide, a simple website with static information pages (pretty much however many you need) is going to cost around £400. The price will increase if you want to add additional features to your website. For a new site we'll always agree a fixed price with you up front before starting any work. We ask for an initial deposit, and you can pay the balance when the work is complete and you're happy.
Timescale
Again, they're all different, but a simple 3-5 page website will probably take about 3-4 weeks from initial discussion to go-live, allowing time for discussion, review and amendments. Almost always, we find it's the client who controls how long it takes from start to go-live.
